Diran, D.D.D. (author), Hoekstra, M. (author), van Veenstra, A.F.E. (author)The potential of the use of data to help improve policymaking is increasingly recognized by governments, especially to address societal challenges. One of those societal challenges is the energy transition, which happens for a large part at the local government level. However, within the literature little is known about which type of...conference paper 2022

Nogueira, L.P. (author), Dalla Longa, F. (author), van der Zwaan, B.C.C. (author)Using the integrated assessment model TIAM-ECN, we analyze how Madagascar’s nationally determined contribution (NDC) to the Paris Agreement can be implemented in both the energy and non-energy sectors. We explore how the country’s national climate goal for 2030 can be reached under two different cost levels for climate change mitigation through...article 2020

Huovila, A. (author), Bosch, P.R. (author), Airaksinen, M. (author)City managers need indicators for target setting, performance assessment, monitoring, management and decision-making purposes. The choice of the most suitable indicator framework is crucial, but difficult, as it requires expert knowledge. To help cities in their choice, this paper compares seven recently published indicator standards for Smart...article 2019

Scherer, L. (author), de Koning, A. (author), Tukker, A. (author)The BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) and MINT countries (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey) shifted the economic weight from developed to emerging countries. They will continue to grow rapidly by population and gross domestic product (GDP), which could also imply environmental changes. We use the environmentally extended multi-regional input...article 2019

Derks, M.J.W. (author), Romijn, H. (author)Rural off-grid electrification systems powered by renewable energy have become popular in the Global South. Unfortunately, many microgrids have experienced trouble during their first years of operation, leading to premature system deterioration. In this paper we trace these problems to institutional issues associated with goal displacement in...article 2019

(author)Sisal fibre can potentially replace glass fibre in natural fibre composites. This study focuses on the environmental performance of sisal fibre production by quantifying the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy use of producing sisal fibre in Tanzania and Brazil using life cycle assessment (LCA), based on region-specific inventory data. The...article 2017

Tukker, A. (author)There is widespread concern that the 'economy is crashing against the Earth', already causing problems in terms of climate change, water depletion and loss of biodiversity. Yet, the global economy still will have to grow two- to four-fold to provide all future global inhabitants with the average yearly income of $10,000 that is needed to have a...article 2013

Kaptijn, N. (author), Hageman, J.G. (author), Vervuurt, A.H.J.M. (author), Kuilboer, C.P.M. (author)Steel post-tensioning systems and stay cables are susceptible to corrosion. Carbon fiber systems are not. However, there was no experience on the long term behavior of such post-tensioned elements. Four external tendons (75 m long), stressed to a load of 2650 kN, were applied in a large balanced cantilever bridge and monitored for over 10 years....conference paper 2012

Batini, F. (author), van Wees, J.-D. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)At present, the worldwide geothermal energy production provides less than 1% of the world's energy needs but the geothermal resources confined in the first 6 km of the earth's crust are estimated to be in the fairly above 200 GW of which 50-80 GW are located in Europe. Exploring and developing at large scale untapped hydrothermal resources...conference paper 2010

Dijk, M. (author), Montalvo Corral, C. (author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)This paper studies the factors that lead automotive manufacturing firms to invest in Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEVs). ULEVs are vehicles that emit extremely low levels of harmful gases compared to other vehicles. In contrast to studies that examine aggregated patterns on the market (such as sales levels, new launches and issued patents),...article 2009

Hommes, S. (author), Vinke-de Kruijf, J. (author), Otter, H.S. (author), Bouma, G. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)Water resources management issues tend to affect a variety of uses and users. Therefore, they often exhibit complex and unstructured problems. The complex, unstructured nature of these problems originates from uncertain knowledge and from the existence of divergent perceptions among various actors. Consequently, dealing with these problems is...article 2009
